I'm sort of obsessed, it sounds like he's playing 16ths on the hats but clearly isn't, is it some sort of one handed shuffle (fnar) he's doing on the hats? Stupid YouTube file compression pretty much blurs the high end...
actually that's only on the double time bit... looks like he's alternating... sometimes he's doin three 16ths in succession then just hitting the snare on the beat, other times he's playin a paradiddle with the snare and hats so that the middle hit of the three 16ths between beats is played with the left... kinda like

why didn't i ever get proper drum lessons
i'm 90% sure that he is playing 16th notes on the hats, using one hand with a double stroke each time. that gives the accent on the first stroke, when he brings his whole arm down, while the second hit is a rebound and less forceful, so makes it sound sorta like a shuffle. incredible technique. they don't play drums like that no more.
Astral Weeks is in my top 5 favorite albums of all time. I would have killed to be in California a few months ago to hear it live. Does he even play here anymore?
he did the album in London last week. The review in the Observer said it was better than the original. Hmmmm....
